The Ringer is aiming to do like TMZ sized articles. They tag each one with how long itll take you too read it. I dont think youll see many 20000 word pieces from anyone on that site because hes specifically aiming for a younger demographic that wants shorter articles.

Its a smart idea, but kind of comes off as like your dad trying to act hip in front of your friends, kinds of alienates the people that have followed him since page 2 as well. Im always disappointed in their articles because the headline will be interesting but the actual article will be 3 paragraphs in which they brush up on what they want to say. Its like if Cracked wrote their titles and TMZ wrote their articles
